If an attacker can spoof the signature file download site, he can potentially do quite a bit worse than this (in that he can deny the usability of the antivirus engine at all by providing a bogus signature file). I'd think that some form of cryptography would be in use to prevent this (either SSL or signing of the archives themselves). Am I mistaken? (Caveat being that I don't use any anti-virus products of this nature, so I really don't know.) On Thu, Nov 04, 2004 at 03:56:02PM -0800, vuln () hexview com wrote:
